Thanks to my sinuses, I've had laryngitis for 4 days now. If any of you have seen my voice, I'd love to know where it is. I have a dr's appt tomorrow morning. I could have gotten in with one of the other drs in the practice, but I don't remember the name of the male dr who didn't read my chart and prescibed an Erythromycin cousin. I'd much ( Read more... ) -
Period Shoes
The following message was posted to our local list by my baron. Since they're trying to get enough orders for wholesale quantities, I thought I'd spread the word. Most of the shoes won't work for later periods, but some of you may be interested. I recommend reading the whole thread as he updates some of the info further down.

Chnage Your Attitudes, People!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8515592.stm
Although this poll was conducted in London, I suspect these attitudes of blaming the victim are about the same here in the US. How long until our world understands that No means NO and a woman ALWAYS has the right to change her mind? -
10 years ago and my father (long)
10 years ago today I was finally taking my mandatory time off from work after having had to change plans several times during the year due to work. The day before my boss had asked if it was possible for me to postpone again, and I told him that I needed to visit my parents, particularly my father as he had been ill off and on all year.
I spent the ( Read more... ) -
The Women's Crusade
great article in NY Times on women, 3rd world in particular, and best use of aid dollars. It's frightening to read about the millions of missing women in the world.

Going nuts. In addition to the drama with getting the house ready to sell, arguing with a minister over theology of baptism, the subsequent drama with my mother for upsetting her minister, my father-in-law had surgery for internal bleeding two days ago. When my MIL went to pick him up at the hospital, she had a stroke. It was minor enough that ( Read more... ) -

Took the kids to the drive-in last night which did not go as we expected. They did NOT fall asleep on the 1/2 hour drive. Miss M got to play on the playground and then watched the movie on Daddy's lap, crawling around periodically (not sure why other than she's 2!). Mr. J drank his bottle then fell asleep in Mommy's arms. We only stayed for one ( Read more... ) -
Fixing the House
So I was going to post about all the stuff we've done to the house or still need to do, but that was too depressing, and I've decided to spare you.
On the up side the new granite countertops look great; our bathroom finally looks the way I think it should; the new stairs look awesome, and I think the landscaping will make the house pretty (flowers ( Read more... ) -

OK, LJ Brain Trust, what's the best way to send a fax for free on the 'net? -
Re-Booting the Brain
Yesterday was an almost complete loss. I had pushed myself past exhaustion into the space where my brain goes all wonky, and I am dizzy and nauseous just lying still (not to mention what happens when I move). When J's alarm went off I told him he was going to need to stay home with the kids as there was no way I could take care of them. I then ( Read more... )
